Re: Senator Markle

The reason that they are not ignored as you probably realise is due to the calculated self-promotion of the wife and her PR team with their strategic placement of "news" into the mass media where it's taken as fact. Since the immediate possibility of Markle as a senator in California has now disappeared, the longer-term issue of how to deal with the misuse of titles and position still remains - and it's a situation without precedent. "Unprecedented" is the key word in my opinion, and to meet that deliberate and calculated challenge by an ongoing manipulative individual then an act of Parliament that would be general enough not only to answer this type of situation but possibly others in the future - by which I mean actions and intentions which violate that distance between the immediate royal family and specific political causes and identities (e.g., becoming the nominee of a specific political party/institution thanks to leveraging their royal title/identity to secure that) - this would be a sensible and necessary solution. If "Caesar's wife must be above reproach" in the 21st century then so should contemporary royals who misuse and abuse royal identity for another career step in the very different political realm. Previous Message If people would just ignore the Duke and Duchess of Montecito on and offline we would not have to bother responding to all the nonsense. But I agree a last push by the government to formalise their royal irrelevance could not come soon enough.
